Sometimes referred to as the "Sports Betting King", Mazi Smith (real name reported to be Darnell Smith) often boasts of his high-stakes winnings that include wins like $1.45 M on the Chiefs and $548 K in another instance.  He claims to have made dramatic profits such as $317 K in a single day.  Some reports suggest he has been in police custody since May 16.  That just happens to be the day Mazi stopped posting on X (formerly known as Twitter).
